The SouthtownStar :: Crestwood :: Midlothian :: Oak Forest :: Posen

Family tormented by condo association over flooring: "An Oak Forest family can breathe a sigh of relief now that their condominium association has decided not to pursue possession of the family's home in a dispute over the kind of flooring the family installed.

But the family's potential legal woes aren't necessarily over. The association may pursue recovery of $1,400 in attorney fees incurred when the family requested a hearing with the association board over the matter."

These folks removed the carpet and went with hard flooring to accommodate a child with asthma, because the carpet was holding dust and so forth. The association decided to ban hard flooring and require carpeting. Why do they think is this their business anyway, given that it is inside the unit and might reasonably be seen as the owner's concern? Who knows. But they decided to sue these folks.
